I have disabled the firewall of opensuse 42.3. I am trying to set up my machines so that I can use netconsole to log messages that would normally be sent to the serial port on boot failure. I cannot get telnet to send a message to the host it is on. nc -l -u 23 | tee ~/netconsole.log is the command listening telnet dfpcxx is telnet command entered. I receive: telnet: connect to address 192.168.7.xx: Connection refused Since the firewall is disabled, what is refusing the connection? I get nothing in /var/log/messages and nothing in dmesg. Is this some damn PAM or other thing that is lurking unseen and unreported in the background? Any help would be appreciated.
